The grandmother had also been throwing stones at the dogs the week previous to the attack and hit 2 of the dogs with the umbrella, as seen by the owners young daughter she had access to the front door without seeing the dogs and they were 2 border collies and a labrador not pitbulls and rotties as reported to the greystar paper

Thanks for clarifying the issue,...
